Crafted by Jeannette.

Supplies

Glass Block

Vinyl Lettering "Trick or Treat"

Geo Mesh Ribbon

LED Lights

Scissors

1. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the glass block to remove any residue, dust, etc., and dry.
2. Apply the vinyl lettering to the desired area of the glass block.
3. Measure and cut geo mesh ribbon to fill the glass block.

We recommend using low heat lights for this project.

4. Wrap the lights into the geo mesh ribbon and place it inside of the glass block.
5. Measure and cut geo mesh ribbon to wrap around the sides of the glass block and secure the ends.
6. Make a bow using the geo mesh ribbon and add it to the top side of the glass block.

Creating a base for the glass block is optional.

1. You will need to find a wooden box that you can fit the glass block into and drill a hole into it for the light strand.
2. Use a foam brush to paint the edges of the box and set it aside to let dry.
3. Measure and cut patterned scrapbook paper for each side of the box and use Mod Podge to adhere it.
4. Adhere a die cut bat embellishment to the box.
5. Let it dry completely before inserting the glass block.
